The esteemed Department of Legal Sciences, Language, Interpreting and Translation Studies (the former Scuola Superiore di Lingue Moderne per Interpreti e Traduttori – SSLMIT) at the University of Trieste is offering a Masters in Legal Translation (Master universitario di II livello in Traduzione giuridica).
The course runs from 9 January 2015 until 13 June 2015 on Fridays (all day) and Saturday (mornings), and awards a total of 60 CFU (crediti formativi universitari) or ECTS (European Credit Transfer and Accumulation System credits).
As readers will see from the hours, the course could also be considered by working translators.
Deadline for applications is 30 October 2014. Entrance examinations will then take place on 13 & 14 November 2014.
Languages available: English (compulsory), and one among Spanish, German, Croatian and French. Applicants must have Italian as their main language since translations are taught from EN/ES/DE/HR/FR into IT. Italian is the language in which the course is taught.
